We would also like to invite you to visit these other resources that celebrate the work midwives do all over the world.
Short 5-minute documentary-video on a unique midwife. Producer Erin Randall talks about working with midwife Michele Fitzgerald for KUT Radio in Austin, Texas, USA. || [] || A video presentation of the work of [|Jhpiego], the international development arm of the Johns Hopkins University, USA, that has worked for over 35 years to provide frontline health workers/birth attendants around the world with innovative strategies to build their countries’ health systems. || [] || Haiti has the worst maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. Midwives For Haiti is a non-profit that is changing that by training skilled birth attendants in Haiti to save the lives of mothers and babies. Nurse-midwives and other health professionals donate time in Haiti (and fund-raise in the US) to support the program. We train Haitian midwives in basic skills in 10 months. M4H now has Haitian staff, textbooks in Creole, and collaborates with other Haitian organizations. Board members include Nadene Brunk, CNM; Terrie Glass, MSW; Stephen Eads, MD; Ken Heatwole, MD; Jessica Jordan, CNM; Brenda Burgess; Ryan Kenrick, Esq. and Jeff Love, CPA. Our vision: All Haitian women will have access to prenatal care and deliver with the assistance of a skilled birth attendant. || [] ||
